dotcomnamename: All reasons for refusal should be addressed in any appeal. If the term 'no evidence' was used, then in any appeal evidence should be provided. Study the reasons for refusal very carefully and address each one by on attaching an appendix of evidence or documentation to back u your case. When you have this done re read what you are submitting and give the letter of appeal to a friend and ask them their opinion before submission. I do know that the Irish VO's do take the appeal process seriously |

VicGoodGuy: Actually, No he is not entitled to a Visa. He has to fulfil the requirements as laid down in the INIS website, www.inis.gov.ie which means that the onus is on the spouse in Ireland to ensure that her husband will not be an expense on the public purse and resources. She will have to show an average of €40,000 earnings over the previous 3 years (NOT EVERY YEAR, BUT IN TOTAL OVER THE PREVIOUS 3 Years. This cannot be from the welfare system |

dotcomnamename: I do not think that VO's apply their personal opinion because if they did the decisions would be overturned through Judicial Review. Sometimes the criteria is not clear to applicants and they have the chance at appeal to clear up any misconceptions, errors and submit extra information, evidence etc. that they may have left out in the application process, through no fault of their own |
Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by dotcomnamename: 12:23pm On May 10, 2015 |
MickinAbuja: MickinAbuja, Some of them do apply personal opinion, infarct lot of them do that and it is not new at all. I'm hearing it from you for the first time that they don't apply personal opinion. I can see Abuja on your name or are you an IrishVisaOfficer in Abuja? ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

dotcomnamename: First of all, and lets be clear - I am not a Visa Officer, nor do I know any Visa Officers in any Embassy. What I do know is people that work with me have savage trouble in getting the whole visa process right to UK, EU and Ireland even China and Japan. Also, and correct me if I am wrong, in the Irish, UK and other EU and US Embassies the Ambassador has nothing to with Visas - the visa office is staffed by Dept of Justice/State/Home Office Officials from their countries, whereas the Embassy is staffed by Foreign Office staff, who would find visa issuance beneath them. I can only assume that your petition, once it was seen as a visa matter was given to the appeals officer and he/she treated it as an appeal. I wouldn't think ambassadors would be bothered about individual visa cases, but I could be wrong. I have seen UK, Irish, EU and US visa refusal letters and the Irish and UK give proper reasons for refusal, ones that can be challenged on appeal. Maybe I'm an optimist but I would hope that VO's from all countries would be rules bound rather than opinion based I do admire the advice you give and it has helped co-workers of mine in their applications |

MickinAbuja: MickinAbuja, I did not tell you that Ambassador issued me a visa, and i only explained what happened to me personally when i got my Irish visa, coupled with the fact that Sean Hoy the Ambassador of Ireland to Nigeria as the head of mission, has lot to do with visa/embassies and has worked in Irish embassies before even in Mozambique, Uganda and Vietnam. When you said ''Has Nothing To Do'', then i will say ''He has Something to do''. Will you consider telling me what you exactly mean by ''Has Nothing''? visa or more, e.t.c? My petition to the Irish Embassy was addressed directly to the Ambassador, it was zero expectation because i never imagine it to be successful despite the fact that it was wrong for me to do that. I've already given up then, but i only try my luck then.. My point is: I only explained what i did after i was refused Irish visa and how i finally granted the visa. As per working for embassy, its obvious i was joking... Few weeks ago i've witnessed a situation at the Burgh Quay where a student was granted 3 months visa for Language course whereas the applicant paid for degree course after completion of two Language courses, has to received an apology from a senior officer and was asked to leave his passport and come back. This case i was there in person. I believe visa officers do make mistakes because they're human being. |

eniboi:Well, your question is to general, it is not a valid request: if everyone who is applying for a visa requests this, then, I will have to be repeating the same answer over and over and over again to everyone. |

Hi all, I am new to this thread. My spouse is a British Citizen by birth. However, she had lived all her life in Nigeria from infancy. She just recently collected her British passport after a 2 years long battle with the home office. Her British passport bears her married names (my names). We are planing to relocate to the UK. However, considering the financial requirement for the UK spouse visa (£18,600), which she cannot meet immediately, we are thinking of going to Ireland for 5 months to perform The Surinder Singh route (This is a method for British citizens to secure UK immigration rights for their non-European spouses). Are there Nigerian in Ireland using this route to the UK? How can I package a successful visa application for us travel together to Ireland. I currently have valid visas to UK (2 years), US (2 years) and German and Swiss Schengen (1 year). I will appreciate contribution and suggestion from the Ireland guys. ![]() |

Hello Sirs/Ma`s I am a first time traveller i intend to travel to IRELAND with my wife,and we are both first time callers,please i will like to know the do`s and the Dont of someone like us who is going out of the country for the first time. 1.what and what we need to have handy with us during our departure and and arrival in Dublin. 2.How much cash are we allowed to carry by law during departure thanks as i await your favorable reply. |
Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by ekpotek: 3:19pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
kunle75: Do both of you have an Irish visa? |
Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by kunle75(m): 3:46pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
ekpotek: yes sir. |
Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by ekpotek: 7:02pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
kunle75: 1. The legal tender in Republic of Ireland is the euro. Winter is approaching so you will need warm cloths to survive the weather. If you're going to stay with friend, you can carry some foodstuffs. 2. By law you can carry an amount less than $10000. If you plan to carry more than $10000 you will need to declare it to custom at point of departure. I will advise that carry maybe 1000 euro in cash and the rest on you master/visa card. 1 Like |
Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by dotcomnamename: 9:09pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
ekpotek: Was asked about this same question when i went to Dublin few days ago... Under EU Directive 2004/38, there are very limited circumstances whereby a host Member State can lawfully refuse a visa and residence card to the immediate family members of an EU citizen exercising their free movement rights. The UK has implemented the Surinder Singh principle at Regulations 9 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 , which prescribes the following conditions: >The EU citizen is residing in an EEA State as a worker or self-employed person or was so residing before returning to the United Kingdom; >If the family member of EU citizen is a spouse or civil partner, the parties are living together in the EEA State or had entered into the marriage or civil partnership and were living together in the EEA State before the British citizen returned to the United Kingdom; >The centre of the EU citizen’s life has transferred to the EEA State where the EU citizen resided as a worker or self-employed person. It is evident therefore that the UK citizen must move “the centre of their life” to Ireland, prior to returning to the UK in order to successfully invoke their EU Treaty Rights. Meanwhile, · A 3 month residence period is necessary; · Holidaying or weekend visits do not qualify for the purposes of calculating the residence period; · Any union citizen, not just workers or the self employed may benefit from the principle; · During the required period of residence family life must have been ‘created or strengthened’; · Abuse of the principle will not be allowed or tolerated. I hope this answered your question? However, you may wish to contact Vicjustice and Justwise for more clarification about this. They know better. |

Re: *** General Irish VISIT/TOURIST VISA Enquiries *** by ekpotek: 11:41am On Oct 16, 2015 |
dotcomnamename: I am quite familiar with the process as I have done some research. I was trying to find out if their Nigerian in Ireland using this route to bring their immediate family member to the UK? My spouse and I are planing to use this route next year so I would be happy to hear from Nigerian that have successfully used the SS route when they are unable to meet the financial requirement of a UK spouse visa. Thank you. 1 Like |

kunle75: Be ready for Custom are Departure gate. They may want to intimidate you by asking how much FC your carrying or where are you traveling to. Just tell them that you have all your money on your card before CBN ban on FC deposit. Safe trip |
